Chapter 10 - 10- Borgin and Burkes

Third pov

It was a regular day at borgin and burkes, the best antique shop in the wizarding world of Britain and don't let anyone tell you different. After all this is the only place you can get almost any ancient thing, they even had Salazar's necklace for a time until they made a mistake and sold it to old mrs. Smith. But after the last wizarding war, where a lot of the rich pure-bloods fought for the losing side, people started to think this place is evil- because pure-bloods know quality, so most of them went here. After the war, except for the occasional mistaken up and coming muggle-born, the only ones that come here are the dark and gray pure-bloods and even they come in hoods. Just for everyone to know (not that they would tell anyone) mr. Borgin was a half-blood and mr. Burkes'es great grandfather (the one who helped create the shop) was a muggle-born, they didn't care for blood status, just money.

So when me. Burkes or Daniel saw two a.d.u.l.ts and a child coming in with muggle clothes he didn't care at all, well maybe a little, not because of the muggle part, because they were new to this world so maybe he can make a lot of money out of them.

"Hey, how can I help you today at our antique shop?" He asked with a smile

"We are looking for something interesting for the boy, after all, it's not everyday you're turning 11."

If this world was SpongeBob and not Harry Potter, Daniel's eyes would become dollar eyes and if he was a Metamorphmagus his hair and eyes, maybe even his skin, would have turned gold, but as it was neither this nor that, the only change he had was a smile slightly bigger than before.

"And what would you like, Young sir?" He asked and paid attention for the boy for the first time

"Well, what is the most exotic magic book you have?" That was a difficult question, Daniel had lots of exotic magic books as it wasn't illegal to have books about illegal magic, but if he brought the boy a book too bad he won't get it and leave, then an idea came to mind.

"You look like a smart boy, I have just the book for you." Daniel went to the back and brought back a book, it was 'Occlumency: defend your mind'. If it was 200 years ago, Daniel wouldn't have sold it, after all it was one of the only occlumency books in existence! Usually, you learn occlumency from a master who were taught by his master, but luckily for Harry, occlumency was a dying art and the store was in bad shape, other wise he could have never get it.

"Harry, we have to buy it. What if someone would mess with your mind? That's not a present, it's a necessity!"

Daniel almost smiled his real smile and not just his business smile, he could see this family becoming one of his best clients. "This is 10 galleon and 15 sickle but because it's your first buy I will round it up to 10 galleon. If it's not a gift can I interest you in something else, Young Harry?" Daniel saw in the corner of his eyes the mother taking out the coins while Harry was saying "well, do you have an interesting invention? My dad and I like creating new things and tweak with things so that would be nice." 'That is it, I can finally get rid of that thing, but I have to sell it right so I won't lose my new customers over this' Daniel thought, and if he wasn't with people you would see him rubbing his hands.

"I might have something, it's a device which manufacturing way disappeared about 300 years ago, the vanishing cabinet, it is said, that if you have this device and it's brother, if you get into one you would come out of the other, no matter what kind of wards there are in place. Sadly I only have one, otherwise, I wouldn't be selling it for less then 1000 galleons cause now it can only be used as a garbage disposal and for tweaking with it so I will sell for 23 galleons."

The eyes of Harry twinkled in excitement and Daniel could already feel the galleons especially when he heard from the father the words "We have to buy it, a semi working teleportation device. That's the dream!" "You already said it about a flying car" the woman said "can't a man have two dreams!" In the end they bought the vanishing cabinet as a bonus he added an expended suitcase for one galleon to put the cabinet inside.

In the end, when they left, Daniel was happy as he made 34 galleon in one sell, not knowing that in six years, for only the cabinet he could have made 150 galleons
